babies, kids, teens, and adults CAN WATCH spongebob the movie!
this movie is really good, with several positive messages... plankton steals king neptune's crown and sends it to shell city, and plankton steals the krabby patty formula (the very first time) to make krabby patties of his own, there are name calling such as mr krabs calls spongebob "a kid", and theres the other language such as "butt", "stupid", "idiot", "shut up", and "dumb" and a one inappropriate remark "your hot". patrick calls mindy the mermaid "pretty" and "hot", and also patrick is shown completetly naked and it shows his butt mostly and spongebob is shown in his underwear (but mostly naked once), even mr krabs was on fire and naked mostly... and i didn't realize why characters get naked in this movie or a TV show mostly... and there are comic violence are seen btw... babies, kids, teens, and adults will watch this movie as much as the TV show also!

All ages can watch this awesome movie!
HennaGirl19 has lost her mind! This movie is appropriate for ALL AGES! I WATCHED IT WHEN I WAS THREE I BET YOU! I'm nine and LOVE SPONGEBOB! Those "scenes" toward Mindy are just cute things. It's not like real people and real relations ships! Gosh people! And Jadenp says THIS has language!? Oh my gosh people! WAKE UP! It shows how kids shouldn't feel they're worthless. And no offense to Common Sense, but y'all or you have no common sense! The commercials are nothing! AND THEY MISHEARD THE "DAMNING" THING! GOSH YOU PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN!

One of my favorite movies!
Great Movie!It's just really great, though it's not my favorite.I love this movie, it could have some crude humor, but it's all played for laughs.King Neptune says D--n one time and there's one use of fr--king in the Goofy Goober Rock Song, but they're not very noticeable.I used to watch this movie when I was little, but I had no idea that Spongebob and Patrick were drunk, all because of ice cream.I didn't catch that part, and I didn't know about Drinking and stuff.To make this review short, a Great movie, Watch It!And this is sure to amuse Spongebob fans.

Sponge-Tastic
The film was really good. It has tons of laughs, interesting characters and a great cast (including Alec Baldwin and Jeffery Tambor). My only issue with the film was that Squidward has less then ten minutes of screen time. Inappropriate stuff: * lots of comical violence * characters are seen fully nude (no privates seen) * Spongebob gets drunk on ice cream and acts like he's drunk for real

GREAT MOVIE!
Patrick and Spongebob are good role models, they never give up. Well actually, they did, but Princess Mindy convinced them that they were men. (Lied to them, used her "Mermaid Magic" to give them mustaches, which were actually just seaweed.) Dennis is a hitman that was hired to kill Spongebob and Patrick. He tried to make Spongebob commit suicide when they were on David Hasselhoff (They found Neptune's crown, David Hasselhoff as himself gives them a ride to Bikini Bottom. Dennis temporarily catches up to Spongebob and Patrick. Dennis tries to convince Spongebob that he -Dennis- always get's what he wants, and tells Spongebob "Give it up, Kid." and Spongebob looks down at the water. He yells "NEVER!" and jumps onto David's other leg.) Also, Spongebob and Patrick get drunk on ice cream, Spongebob yells at Mr.Krabs for not making HIM the manager, and for making Squidward the manager of the Krusty Krab 2 instead. Spongebob and Patrick go to a bar, and they almost get beat up, but instead someone else gets beat up because the other person sung the Goofy Goober theme song. When Spongebob was losing confedence, and he dies (temporarily) I started crying. The end of the movie is great! Spongebob sings the Goofy Goober theme song rock style, and he becomes the manager of the Krusty Krab 2. One more thing: There was, in fact, the word 'damning'. Grow up people! The movie was NOT filled with cuss words.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
I love this movie. Sadly, it put an end to the funny humour on the show. When I was little, I didn't know that Spongebob and Patrick's behavior seemed likie they were drunk, because I didn't know about that kind of stuff yet. But now that I think of it, they act EXACTLY as if they were drunk. The minute I thought of Spongebob the movie this year made me remember, "Wait a minute, were those two drunk?" I forgot the fact that it was just ice cream. Overall, the old show and movie is good :)

Overprotective, much?
I was looking at the other reviews and was SHOCKED. One sentence: IT IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR PRE-TEENS TO WATCH. Okay, there IS crude humor, but it's for ALL AGES. Psshh, not everyone can stand 3rd grade humor. And one more thing, a few reviews said stuff about the language, but, honestly, but since I was in fourth grade people have been saying stuff waaaaaaayyyy waaaayyyy waaaaayyyy harsher than "idiot", "butt", and "you're hot". :P I think a nine-yr-old can survive..

Funny for kids of any age!
I thought this movie was hilarious. Young kids will not understand most of the "inappropriate" jokes (like when he is drunk... ON ICE CREAM. If your kid is old enough to understand what being drunk is, he probably knows it's a JOKE), if you're worried about that. Some characters smoke and drink beer, but the whole point of the movie is to be proud to be a kid and not grow up too quickly. No cursing, just some insults (i'm sure they've heard worse). In one part of the movie Sponge Bob says "freakin'" but in a song, where i could barely understand what he was saying (I only realized he said that because I had the subtitles on). And someone who said it wasn't for TWEENS???? U serious?? And when spongebob drops his pants, he is just a yellow square sponge. And when patrick is "naked" its just his butt, which they show on every other Spongebob Squarepants episode. Nothing else. As far as the violence goes, it's just a bunch of cartoon monsters chasing them in a comedic way. No one gets hurt. In fact, they end up dancing and singing together. Anyone can watch it!!!

Come on, it's fine!
This is completely fine. Kids that it will appeal to would not be alert enough to see all of these things. Trust me, I watched this movie at the age of 6, and all I thought was: "Haha, Spongebob is acting silly after eating lots of ice cream!" and "Haha, Spongebob's butt!" This will not be a bad influence on your children!

Great movie!!! :D
It's not often that movies based off of cartoons or television shows in general hit the theaters. Since it's debut in 1999, SpongeBob has gained stardom worldwide and has formed a massive cult following. Who would've known the little, yellow dude would get a feature film? The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is enjoyable and hilarious for the whole family. There are, however, brief uses of the word "d*mn" by King Neptune and "freaking" said once in the Goofy Goober Rock song, but both are hardly noticeable and the rest of the movie is, like CSM said, mild schoolyard language. SpongeBob and Patrick are both good role models in this movie because they try to return Neptune's crown and save their friend, Mr. Krabs, from peril, even though they were told they could never do it. The movie teaches that anyone, even a "kid", can accomplish something good in the end and that you shouldn't give up just because people say so. In the end, this was a great movie and was worth watching, especially if you're a long-time SpongeBob fan, like me.

WOOOOOOOOOOO SPONGEBOB!
I love it!!! My sister loves it and she is 6!!! It has a few miner insalts and cruid humer but it's really funny!!! I watched 25 times and it never gets old!!! My sister use to think it was scary when she was 4 but now the scary parts are funny to her. It is good for old ages too!!! My friend is 14 and he always asks me if we can watch it!!! Parents, if your kids imatate things a lot and they are young they probley shouldn't watch it. Spongebob does get a little "dunk" after having about 10,000,000, "ice cream sunrises" but I think he was a little wossy or just tiered. There are some spoky things like skulls, evil people and mind contrall but I love it! I like the ending the best because... I can't tell you it but it's not that bad!!!!
